Grunerlokka, Oslo

If you like your art splattered all over an urban landscape then head over to Grünerløkka in Oslo, where there's something for everyone.

Seasoned fashionistas can rummage around in the multitude of vintage shops on offer and find that treasure guaranteed to make them stand out. If you've had enough of city life, hire a bicycle and trundle along the Akerselva river, drinking in the glorious greenery.

Take a picnic and don't forget your camera – you'll want to get snap-happy.

As with all the Scandinavian countries, Norway can be expensive to visit, so make sure you budget enough money to see and do everything you want.

Beyoglu, Istanbul

Made up of several different neighbourhoods, you won't mind getting lost strolling around Beyoglu. Swerve Taksim Square which'll be bustling with tourists and instead head to the bohemian district of Cihangir.

While away time walking down the narrow streets with multi-coloured buildings, stopping to watch the world pass by and relax at a street cafe or even indulging in a cheeky cocktail.

Getting peckish after all that sauntering? Drop into a meyhane, a traditional taverna, where you can order a sharing mezze. If you want an authentic tipple to accompany it, try some raki.

Fitzroy, Melbourne

Hotfoot it to the smallest suburb in Melbourne pronto and get yourself a fixed-gear bike if you want to fit in with the cool set in Fitzroy. They're ten-a-penny there, and perfect for stopping at a pop-up cafe.

If you'd rather visit somewhere a little more permanent, it's got to be Naked for Satan on Brunswick Street. There's a reason why this place is so popular – it could be the tasty tapas, infused vodkas or rooftop area with panoramic views. We suspect it's a mixture of all three.
